CHARMING CHRISTMAS BOOKS. 



ABC Book of Birds The Jingle Book of 



for children large or small 



BY 



Mary Catherine Judd 



with nonsense rhymes for little ones and 

 prosy sense for older ones. 



26 colored plates. Price, $1.00. 



Miss Judd. in this, has prepared a book that 

 will be a delight to every child and will be in- 

 tensely interesting to every adult lover of birds. 

 Every letter of the alphabet is illustrated by a 

 beautiful colored picture of a bird, whose name 

 begins with that initial. A fun-provoking 

 rhyme given with each picture for the children, 

 a short prose description makes them interesting 

 to the adult. Miss Judd. principal of one of the 

 public schools in Minneapolis, is already well 

 known as author of "Classic Myths" and "Wig- 

 wam Stories." 



By EDWARD B. CLARK. 

 16 colored plates. Price, 50 cents. 



This book of jingling bird verse with its 16 

 colored plates of beautiful and characteristic 

 birds will be certain to capture the children and 

 to hold the attention and interest of the elders. 

 The author is well known to bird lovers through- 

 out the United States by his field sketches of 

 bird life. Mr. Clark, in selecting the birds 

 which are to illustrate his verse was careful to 

 choose only those whose names, plumage and 

 characteristics are such as to lend themselves 

 readily to the motive of the verse. The lines 

 are not jingles merely but jingles which have a 

 well rounded purpose and much of pith and 

 point. The color scheme of the cover of The 

 Jingle Book of Birds will be strikingly beautiful. 

 The younger ones, and the older ones, too, for 

 that matter, will be delighted with this book for 

 a Christmas gift. The author is intimately 

 known to thousands of readers by the articles 

 from his own pen which have appeared several 

 timesaweekon the editorial page of the Record- 

 Herald for a long time past.
